Designed to be a generic trooper 'Mech, the Grim Reaper carries a varied and non specialized weapons payload. To make the most of the Grim Reaper's chassis, a Core Tek 275 XL Engine is used to propel it up to speeds of 86.4 kph while taking up only eight tons. The 'Mech is also armored with ten and a half tons of StarGuard 3056 Ferro-Fibrous armor, which provides it with slightly less than optimal armor protection.

Weapons and Equipment

The Grim Reaper is a 'Mech that is built to handle many combat roles and its weapons mix reflects this. The 'Mech carries a Holly LRM-20 to be able to provide long range fire support. The 'Mech also has a Blankenburg ER Large Laser for long range direct fire. For close range support, the 'Mech is armed with a Blankenburg Medium Pulse Laser which is backed up with a Holly SRM-6 launcher. Finally, the 'Mech carries a McArthur II Anti-Missile System for added protection against missile attacks.

A modification that focuses on long range combat and overall speed, the PR31 variant of the Grim Reaper carries an ER PPC as its primary weapon. It also carries an LRM-20 launcher with an Artemis IV fire control system, making the PR31 an extremely powerful bombardment 'Mech. The 'Mech also carries an ER Medium Laser and an ER Small Laser for close combat along with a C3 Slave to allow it to share targeting data. Finally, the PR31 is outfitted with Triple Strength Myomer allowing it to reach speeds of 97.2 km/h while the 'Mech is operating in its optimum heat range. BV (1.0) = 1,347, BV (2.0) = 1,655[6]

This custom 'Mech was developed by Com Guard AdeptEinar Halldórsson and focuses on survivability. All the standard weaponry has been removed, and in their place are a salvaged Clan ER Large Laser, an ER Medium Laser and an Artemis IV enhanced LRM-20. The Anti-Missile System has been replaced by a Laser AMS. The Inner Sphere XL engine has been replaced by a Clan-built unit. A Light TAG unit has been installed as well. For increased protection, the Einar uses a Reinforced Structure and replaces the standard SRM-6 with four tons of Modular Armor on the front torsos and right arm. The LRM ammo is protected by a Clan-built CASE II system.[8]
